About This Workshop
President Elect Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017. How will his agenda, the first year he is in office, impact Silicon Valley and technology innovation in the country for the next year and what do we, as citizens, entrepreneurs, and consumers, need to know in order to participate in shaping technology innovation policy that will impact us for years to come?
Join Tech 2025 for this special workshop in our Frontier Tech Forecasts series reflecting on the past year in technology innovation legislation and looking ahead at expectations for 2017. Focusing specifically on technology innovation policies and legislation, and using current events and expert insight as a guide, Chris Coffey (Managing Director, Tusk Ventures) will provide an overview of the most pressing legislative issues in emerging technologies and highlight the issues technology companies and the Trump administration will most likely focus on in 2017. Some of the topics and questions that will be discussed include:
What were some of the most contentious legislative battles in technology innovation in 2016 and what are Trump's positions on these issues?
Which frontier technologies (AI, driverless vehicles, robot automation, VR, etc.) are of the biggest concern to the Trump's administration? What is their plan?
What are the most pressing concerns of the big tech companies (Google, Facebook, Tesla, etc.) and how will they reposition and redefine/refine their policy goals in 2017? (case studies)
What should entrepreneurs know about the coming battles in cybersecurity, data protection, an impending trade conflict with China, and more?
How are investors and VCs viewing Trump's positions on tech policies and how will it impact their investment strategies?
What will Trump's technology innovation priorities be in the first 100 days of his presidency and for the rest of 2017 (ie, data privacy, STEM education, workforce automation and the unemployment fallout, etc.)?
How does US technology innovation policy compare to (and impact) innovation policies in other countries (and vice versa)? Will Trump help or hurt that?
How can you stay informed and participate in shaping technology innovation policy on the federal, state, and local level?
What are some of the most pressing tech policy issues for 2017 in New York State/City and how will that impact consumers, startups, corporations and employment?
